(ThyBlackMan.com) Sex is one of the most powerful things in the universe that’s supposed to display positive vibes between two people.
But these days, because of negative and destructive imagery and music from promoted and perpetuated by Corporate America, sex has been turned into a very unhealthy and destructive weapon in our community and it’s very destructive to our family structure as much as the mass incarceration epidemic has been over the past three decades.
Last month, I wrote an article explaining why sexual irresponsibility is very harmful to our community in America and the role that Corporate America has for perpetuating these very harmful destructive messages to our youth that are often played on corporate radio stations like “I f**k b*****s everyday”
Intro: Here are several reasons why harmful sex has become an unhealthy and destructive weapon in The African Community in America.
1. Brothers Having Multiple Kids Through Multiple Baby Mamas – There’s nothing more painful than to hear stories of some brothers, even the ones who in the mainstream are notorious for having lots of irresponsible and unprotected sex.
Example – There is a real story of a brother in Tennessee by the name of Desmond Hatchett and I was absolutely shocked to find out that he has not 1, not 2, not even 3, but a total of 30 kids through 11 different baby mamas and of course my first reaction that came to my mind was “I feel so sorry for all those kids” because they will grow up angry and bitter towards their father because he lacked the maturity and responsibility to actually provide for them not just financially, but also giving them the time that they deserve to have with him.
If I ever have a daughter, one of the first things that I will teach her is to avoid dating guys like Hatchett that ain’t taking care of his 30 kids because a 35 year old man that still acts and thinks like he’s 15 isn’t gonna make a good husband and father, he’s gonna make a great baby daddy.
2. Sisters Having Multiple Kids Through Multiple Baby Daddies – There are also stories of many sisters who have multiple kids through multiple baby daddies.
Example – An actual study done several years ago revealed that at least 60% of African women in America have multiple kids with multiple fathers.
Most of this is the cause of colonialism and its symptoms like racism because I would argue that the mass incarceration epidemic that has severely crippled our family structure over the past few decades has led to many single mother homes, less marriages, and also kids growing up without their mothers in some cases and in a lot of cases, their fathers because of being systemically removed from the home via mass incarceration.
3. One Night Stands – There are many people in our community that play with sex because many of them see sex as one night stands in which they have sex with that person for one night and move on to the next person to have sex with.
Example – A person who has many one night stands without thinking about the repercussions could end up having unwanted pregnancies that leads to sloppy planning, decrease in financial security as well as creating dysfunctional households and other complicated situations.
The Conclusion – We must teach our young what the true purpose of sex is and not allow the mainstream media to tell them what it is.
